The Economics of Natural Capital in East Africa project supports USAID Kenya and East Africa and the East African Community’s (EAC) strategic priorities for harmonization of policy and legal frameworks, sustainable management of key transboundary ecosystems, anti‐poaching, and combating wildlife trafficking, and learning and leadership for biodiversity conservation. At the core of the Economics of Natural Capital in East Africa project is the understanding that a regional effort is needed to address national‐level problems that are exacerbating the decline in wildlife populations and habitat loss. This project has a strong focus on strengthening the EAC regional policy dialogue and the evidence base on transboundary natural resource management and biodiversity conservation.
